Since the beginning of this year I have undertaken the journey of finding my tūrangawaewae. Being Moriori, Māori and Pākeha I have felt internally conflicted and ungrounded. I decided to ako about my whakapapa, my iwi and my whānau and received my Tā Moko. I have since been listening to Te Reo lessons online, watching Māori ted talks, and doing what I can to immerse myself in my culture. This is another step in the journey.
